On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about developments surrounding the harbourfront.

In her weekly blog, the Secretary for Development, Bernadette Linn, said she expected promenades along the harbour to span 29 km in total length by the end of this year, with the hope of reaching 34 km by 2028.


The minister's comments came after the government gazetted the Protection of the Harbour (Amendment) Bill, to streamline the procedure for small-scale reclamations, for facilities such as piers and viewing decks.


A "presumption against reclamation" would still exist for large-scale developments.


After 9:45, we're talking about reports of GPS network disruptions having an impact on Hong Kong users over the weekend.
